Hey everybody, i will be going to Poland this summer with my brother to learn more about our Polish heritage.

Here are some documents of their passports with the name of the village on it in case i have the spelling wrong.

Thank you very much,

Tristan,
Wasylkowce still exists. It is located in Ukraine, near Kopyczynce (mentioned in the passport). Check the Google map:

Hi Tristan,
Just looking at current day map - - I wonder if Vasylkivtsi and Kopychynstsi are your Wasylkowce and Kopyczynce. They are in the Ternopil region, about 135 miles southeast of Lviv. That is, they are not in present-day Poland but rather in Ukraine.
Best of luck in your search,
Sophia
